Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

Some extra tables had been set up in the shade of the trees on the lawn, away from the buffet in spots where it might be less crowded and much quieter. Well, aside from the mariachi band, but at least their music was entertaining? They might even take requests!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Oh, the nineties. Back then, there were dinosaurs and cavemen, right? So yeah, pretty much the same as the fifties.

"I'll definitely do that," Frank declared, with a tremendously dorky smile. "Thank you so much, Britta."

"Anytime, Frank," Britta said, with a solemn nod and a great deal of sincerity for the fact that she was being helpful and things. "Anytime."

Then she eyed him thoughtfully for a moment. "I take it since you're not freaking out about the time travel stuff that you're managing to put this all in stride fairly well..."

"I'm sort of justifying it as being like a comic book," Frank confessed. "I mean, meta for The Flash time-travelled all the time, you know?"

Hello, future metaphor for himself. How do you do?

"I never really thought of it like a comic book before," Britta admitted. Because she was, you know, a girl. "I'm actually pretty sure some of these people even have super powers. Either that, or they're just really good at what they do."

Frank's eyes lit up. "Really? Wait, wait, are you serious right now?" ALL HIS DORKY DREAMS HAD JUST COME TRUE, BRITTA. ALL OF THEM.

"Well, I don't have any," Britta admitted, "not unless being kick ass and progressive are super powers, but, hey, you really never know around this place."

"Neat."

Dork.

"This place kind of has, like, everything, right?" Beat. "Is there a giant room made out of pie? Tell me there's a giant pie room."

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

"There...is no giant pie room." Britta really hated to be the bearer of that bad news. "But...there's a ball pit on the sixth floor of the dorms?"

That wasn't a bad compromise, right? She didn't really find a lot of appeal in either of them, truth be told, but it seemed the sort of thing Frank might dig.

"Darn," Frank said. Kind of vigorously, too. That was downright profane coming from him. "But I... actually have no idea what that is."

Fun fact: The first ball pit had been invented in 1972 in Canada. Thanks, Wiki.

"It's just...like a big pit filled with colorful balls," Britta said, realizing that it sounded a lot less interesting when you actually described it. "Or, like...it's a pool, but instead of water or jello, it's balls."

Britta was so lucky that "balls" wasn't slang yet back when he was from.

"Huh," Frank said, mulling that over. "Sounds kind of fun. They're soft, right?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[shestheworst.livejournal.com]

"Ish?" Britta shrugged.

"Actually, it's a really terrible idea. Especially compared to a roomful of pie, but where do you even come up with something like that?"

Re: General Mingling [Summer 2012-1]

[catchmeifyoucan.livejournal.com]

Frank grinned. "Come on, who doesn't want to swim in a giant pie?"

Someone had way too much imagination for his own good. Way, way too much.

"But I'll check out the ball pit sometime if you want to show me, or draw me a map or something?"
